Unintended Consequences

I don’t believe, but you do.

In the mythical Earth.  I made it all up.

I don’t believe, but you do.

In the scriptures of Pythia.  The Arrow.  The Tomb.  And the map.  But there is no Earth, remember?   What are we chasing?  Why?

I don’t believe, but you do.

In that far away place where the sea meets the land.

I don’t believe, but you do.

In a boat that slices through the water, bringing you closer and taking you farther away.

There is no Earth, no shore or sailing ship.

But if I don’t believe, I lose you.
